I've just played it and it is superb.
I have an AMD 2.4, 512 ram and a 9600 and I can run the game at 1280 x 1024 on medium specs with very little framerate drops. And even on these settings the graphics are the best you'll have ever seen.
Gameplay wise the game is s**t scary. Playing in a dark room, all alone, at half 12 in the morning doesn't help matters. At one stage it made me jump 3 times in about 2 minutes.
One of the features I like most is that you have a PDA that stores all your emails, facts, videos and everything on. You can hook it up to machines to download more emails and data etc. The interactivity is also brilliant. When you look at a control panel your crosshair turns into a mouse pointer making it great to select the functions.
Lighting is another thing I love about this game. You need to play the game to appreciate how good it is. The flashlight is also superb, and in a dark game like Doom 3, proves very useful.
[S]P.S. I shall be purchasing the legit copy on Friday :P I just couldn't wait.

By the way, it's already been slammed by The Daily Mail :)

No surprise there then.
I'll be picking this up in the states, most probably.

I'll be buying it when it's released, but I get to play it at the Edinburgh International Games Festival on Sunday.
My PC isn't good enough to play it, which sucks. Can't afford to upgrade it either so I'll just have to wait ages to play it......
It'll be out on Xbox soone enough.
Unless you don't have an Xbox, in which case you will have to wait ages :S

Whats your spec? Because the min specs are pretty low for it, of course with low specs comes low graphics.

Can't remember the spec exactly. On my laptop right now.
I think its probably around 1Ghz pentium processor with a pretty bog standard graphics card.
I was going to upgrade a while back (To play far cry) but I would have had to get a new motherboard as well as a new graphics card which I just can't afford right now. Will probably borrow it from a mate to see if it works or just go round to his house and check it out when its released.

Doubt it will play than as min spec is 1.5 Ghz, 384Mb RAM and a 64Mb graphics card min Geforce 3 MX440.
I've only got a 1.4 Gzh prosessor, but Far Cry worked really surprisingly well on a low res with medium/high graphics. All you need is an ok graphics card and a bit of RAM (I got 630mb) and you'll be ok. Of course...min specs just mean it will run without blowing up or not starting at all.
